Art

[Bruv]

After the Olympic video fiasco.....you know.....the one that flashed a painting of Myra Hindley for a fraction of a second, we all became art critics for a day.

So what you think about this 'work'....in the 'Times' dont you know ?......and its been around since 1960, so it must have stood the test of time.....to some degree.

Worthy of an inclusion in an art gallery, or not ? Link here

Here it is.....

Crap.

But this, is art.

The Horse Fair by Rosa Bonheur

[Churchill]

Rothko isn't it? V. Popular in the 80's. Mind you, so was Madonna.

Sweetpea....how do you do that ?
Make it stand alone like that......(no sniggering at the back)
I always struggle to post pics copy the wrong link thingy.

Rothko himself refused to explain his work. "Silence is so accurate," he said, believing that words would restrict the viewer's imaginative response to the paintings.

Wise choice, or was it to add to the enigmatic qualities of his work ?

Two blobs of colour? Is that art? Thought art was supposed to sort of relate a story(if you know what I mean) two blobs of colour say nothing to me

That's an attachment.

Did you read the comments on the link ?

Its simple, powerful and beautiful!
I think it allows the viewer to see whatever they want to see in it, which is very thoughtful of Rothko, as many paintings are painted to see what the artist saw in whatever he/she painted.Jenny, Durham,



I think it's beautiful. I love it.
Lily, London,

It does have some qualities.............. surely.

Listen, I did art school, and was never well accepted when suggesting a piece of art, was not art. It has no defining line, but I am more than sure a lot of people are just plain hoodwinked.

For me no it does nothing for me, some people might call it great art but sorry I don't rate it

You do that as well......Think I can follow a random set of words like that......

Is that when you get a box thing around a strange design ?
Does that magically turn into the pic you want when you click post ?
